	Giggleicious is a one-woman operation started in 2006 after becoming disillusioned by the multitude of pale pinks and blues available for babies and toddlers and a lack of funky toys and colours. With a degree in Design & Illustration it was natural for her to start designing toys and clothing for her own daughter and Giggleicious grew from there. Her work is based on one-off designs and commissions ensuring you are getting a unique item made with care and love. Click here for Giggleicious!
